As the United States becomes more eco-conscience there is a new program on the horizon that helps people bring farm fresh food to their table. A local program, called Green B.E.A.N. Kentucky, does just this. It supplies locally grown produce to Louisville residents through a delivery service that customers sign up for.

The process starts with interested people signing up for a Green B.E.A.N. account through their website, then account holders customize their orders, followed by customers receiving their produce on an assigned day. Some of the farmers and artisans that participate in this delivery program are Ashbourne Farms, Blue Dog Bakery, Foxhollow Farm and Lotsa Pasta - just to name a few!

Buying local produce help support the local economy. Some of the benefits of buying local food include eating in-season food that is fresh, helping to create a relationship between farmer and customer and reducing the effects of food transportation on the environment. At a minimum order of only $35 dollars and having the food delivered to your doorstep, getting fresh produce has never been this easy!

This coming Sunday will mark the beginning of the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament, as anxious fans, players and coaches will learn whether they're in or they're out. With three teams most likely in the tournament, University of Kentucky, University of Louisville and Murray State University, Kentuckians will have to fill out their brackets knowing there can only be one champion.

Selection Sunday does more than just select 68 of the best teams for the NCAA tournament, it also seeds the teams and places them in a bracket. Many sports fans print blank brackets off and fill in the teams who they think will take home the prize of being named the 2012 NCAA Champs.

In essence, Selection Sunday kicks off what is called "March Madness", where there are always basketball games on for fans to watch. All three teams, Kentucky, Louisville and Murray State have a shot at going far in the tournament. Hopefully, all of the Kentucky teams will represent the state proudly and play well! Good luck to all of the teams in making the tournament!
